My name is Rosie, and this is where I put the stuff I find. (:
I am trying my very hardest to be organized at all in some area of my life, so here it is!

The Associated Press: Meltdown 101: Government cash for green appliances
Meltdown 101: Government cash for green appliancesBy EMILY FREDRIX (AP) – 2 hours ago
If you missed your chance to get cash for your clunker, you may soon have another shot at getting government money for going green. Just step out of the garage and into the kitchen.
This year's stimulus bill funded a $300 million program that will offer rebates of varying amounts — possibly up to $200 — to buyers of energy-efficient appliances and other products that carry the "Energy Star" label.
The rebate programs are being run by the states, and the details are still being worked out. But unlike Cash for Clunkers, you probably won't have to drag your old stove into the store to get money for a new one.
Here are some questions and answers about the rebates.

Today in band I got all riled up because my friend started talking about politics. I love her to death, but she and I do not fall on the same side of the spectrum, and I had to remove myself from the situation when some ridiculous kid was like:
"Yeah. What's Obama doing anyway? He's like, visiting concentration camps and stuff in Germany."
And THAT pissed me off. So I pointed my finger at his face and said "It's called international relations, stupid." And then I walked off. The nerve. Seriously. The man hasn't even been in office for a year, and people are already saying he's useless. Obviously they don't read, or actually give enough of a damn to stay informed.
It never ceases to amaze me how many people close to my age whine about things, but do nothing. No wonder we play video games all the time; we're so obsessed with the inability of the individual that we'd rather not even live here, in reality. Maybe that's an enormous leap, but right now I hardly care.
